Summary: Immensly uplifting and worthwhile!
Review: 'End the Struggle and Dance with Life' was read by several of my relatives after I completed it, and I noticed a change within them also. It really is a very uplifting, positive and proactive book, which helps to guide readers to a more positive, happy and furfilling life.I found it positively refreshing and wonderful, and feel myself change occuring as a result. The only thing I did wrong was borrow it from a library, hence I am unable to refrence back to it when life gets me down as it no doubt will. The only problems I see within this book, as it fades away in the ending a little, and I didn't fully comprehend the idea of lower and higher selves, though this is through my only lack of understanding rather than the book itself. Wonderful quotes, wondefully uplifting, a wonderful read in whole.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I have read and highly appreciated two of Jeffers previous books: "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway", and "Dare to Connect". I would give both of those books 5 stars. Unfortunately, as good as Dare to Connect is, it remains out of print and, I believe, this was the motivating force behind writing End the Struggle. It is basically a merging of the two books, yet it does not seem to have the energy and intensity, often coming off a bit naive or pollyannaish. For me, it was just a review of what I'd read in the previous two books and therefore of little value. It's not fair for me to rate it lower on that alone, however. No, it's lower energy combined with the publisher's trick of reintroducing "Dare to Connect" principles (which is available online used) is what bothered me. We see this a lot. An author writes another book that is basically a rehash of another, or tries to present the same views a little differently just so the public will think it's a "new" book.

Summary: this book is incredible!
Review: I just finished End the Struggle and Dance with Life and I'm going to start at the beginning and read it again and again. Susan Jeffers writes so plainly and to the heart...it seems like she is writing just to me but it will seem that way to you. I couldn't put it down! I can't belive how helpful it is. I usually don't get through self-help books but this one is so amazing and incredible!

Summary: A Diamond in a sea of Zircons
Review: Susan Jeffers is an incredibly gifted and creative writer. This book has, to spout the usual cliche, changed my life. Coupled with Embracing Uncertainty it has the power to bring clarity to the most confused and troubled psyche but more importantly to spur you on to greater efforts at achieving peace and wonder in a tough world. This is a spiritual text and her message is a consistent spiritual one.
A very beautiful and loving and sustaining book. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Prozac for the Soul..
Review: This book takes you on a wonderful journey. Jeffers' words are immensely uplifting and transforming. You will gain immense insight into yourself, what you are doing that is making you unhappy, and what you can do to make yourself happier. This opened up a whole new world for me, philosophically speaking, and I can now look at life with a more positive slant. I enjoyed all the quotes she included, as well as the dozens of apt analogies and affirmations. As a bonus, it is chock full of suggestions for further exploration and contemplation. Don't wait - it is an easy and delightful read.

Summary: A Treasure!
Review: This is a truly wonderful book. I cannot recommend it enough! The wisdom held within its pages is invaluable to human society as a whole. Susan Jeffers is a beautiful person and her simple, honest writing style communicates this. I think we should add this book as an Amendment to the Constitution! Truly magnificent! --Kelly Magovern

Summary: My Favorite Author
Review: This is probably the most helpful book I have ever read. Susan Jeffers talks about living in a world the way it is today and not trying to change things or people. There is a magnificent chapter, TRUST THE FUTURE. This chapter should be read by anyone attempting any kind of life change, be it a new job, a new husband, a new city. She says that in the end, it's all perfect any way. I have already read this book twice and I find myself referring to it often when things do not go the way that I might have wanted. Read this book and you will regret mistakes less and less.

Summary: Learning to not step on toes
Review: We can only live life to the fullest if we allow ourselves, I think this book gives us the power to do just that. We cannot change the past and do not know our future, so why not enjoy life day by day? I discovered this inspirational author in the suggested reading list of another great book called Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life by JoAnna Carey which also offers practical tips on living a more satisfying life.
